An alternative that I use instead of quoting the paths that contain spaces is to use the 8.3 format of the path. For example, the path c:\Program Files would be c:\progra~1. The only trick is if the first 6 characters of two or more subdirectories are the same. In this case the numeric suffix is different for each of the matching subdirectories. I find this technique useful to keep classpaths and paths down to a reasonable length.

Used double quotes around the c:\Program Files?
You should also use \\ instead of '\' in DOS paths.
No excerpt was pasted so I ask.
